Episode #05
Rei, Beyond the Heart

*****

RITSUKO (OFF): 
Rei Ayanami, age fourteen.
The first test subject chosen in accordance with the Marduk Report.
The First Child.
She is the designated pilot for Evangelion prototype Unit 00.
Her past has been eradicated. All her personal records were erased.

MISATO (OFF): 
So, what caused the accident during the last experiment?

RITSUKO (OFF): 
We still don't know.
However, we believe that mental instability on the part of the pilot 
was a primary cause.

MISATO (OFF): 
Mental instability? In Rei?

RITSUKO (OFF): 
Yes, her mind became much more disturbed than we had anticipated.

MISATO (OFF): 
So, what happened?

RITSUKO (OFF): 
I don't know.
But could it be...

MISATO (OFF): 
Did something occur to you?

RITSUKO (OFF): 
No, that can't be it.

*****

SHINJI: 
So this is our enemy.

RITSUKO: 
I see. Most Everything except the core remains intact.
This is an ideal sample.
I appreciate it!

MISATO: 
So, did you find anything new?

*****

MISATO (OFF): 
What the heck is this?

RITSUKO: 
That's the code number for "cannot be analyzed".

MISATO: 
You mean, you don't know what the heck it is?

RITSUKO: 
Correct. We do know the Angel is composed of a type of matter
characterized by both particulate and wave properties, like light.

MISATO: 
But you've at least found its power source, haven't you?

RITSUKO: 
Something like that anyway.
But we haven't been able to figure out any of its operating principles.

MISATO: 
Well, I guess there's still a whole world of things we don't know about yet.

RITSUKO: 
The world is filled with mysteries.
For example, take a look at this.
This is the Angel's inherent wave pattern.

MISATO: 
What? Let me see.

MISATO: 
Could this be...

RITSUKO: 
Yes. Although they are composed of a different form of matter,
their actual composition, in terms of the arrangement
and spacing of the pattern, falls within a 99.89% match of human genes.

MISATO: 
99.89%?

RITSUKO: 
It really shows us just how limited our level of understanding is.

WORKER A: 
Bring it down... slowly... Okay!

WORKER B: 
That's good. Stop.

FUYUTSUKI: 
This is the core? How's the rest of it?

MAN (OFF): 
It's pretty deteriorated. We can't expect to use it as a reference.

IKARI (OFF): 
That's not a problem. Dispose of the remnants.

MAN (OFF): 
Yes, Sir.

MISATO: 
What's wrong?

SHINJI: 
Well, nothing's wrong.

MISATO: 
Are you aware that when you say "nothing" that way,
it's the same as asking others to pay attention to you?

SHINJI: 
Well, it's just that my father seems to have burned his hands.

MISATO: 
Burned?

SHINJI: 
I was just wondering how it happened.

MISATO: 
Burns? Do you know?

RITSUKO: 
It was before you arrived at Nerv.
Unit 00 went berserk during the activation experiments.
You've heard about that, right?

SHINJI: 
Yes.

RITSUKO: 
The pilot was trapped inside.

SHINJI: 
Pilot? You mean Ayanami, right?

RITSUKO: 
It was Commander Ikari who rescued her.

RITSUKO: 
He opened the super-heated hatch with his bare hands.

SHINJI: 
My father did that?

RITSUKO: 
That's how he burned his hands.

*****

GIRL: 
Go, Hideko!

GIRL: 
Come on, lose!

GIRL (OFF): 
You've got to treat us to pizza if you lose!

BOY (OFF): 
There, go for it!

BOY (OFF): 
You won't make it!

BOY (OFF): 
Now, let's sink a shot!

GIRL: 
Oh my gosh! Those guys are looking at us!

GIRL: 
Perverts!

TOJI: 
Man, they've all got such incredible breasts.

GIRL: 
Suzuhara's ogling us! Gross!

GIRL (OFF): 
Hi, Shinji!

TOJI: 
Hey, Chief!
What're you lookin' at so intently?

SHINJI: 
Nothing!

KENSUKE: 
Was it Ayanami? Am I right?

SHINJI: 
No!

KENSUKE: 
Oh, come on. That's suspicious...

TOJI: 
Ayanami's boobs...
Ayanami's thighs...
Ayanami's...

TOJI & KENSUKE: 
...calves!

SHINJI: 
I told you, it's nothing like that.

KENSUKE: 
Then, what were you looking at?

TOJI: 
You can't fool me.

SHINJI: 
I was just wondering why she's always alone.

TOJI: 
Come to think of it, she hasn't had any friends since she started here 
in the seventh grade.

KENSUKE: 
There's just something about her that makes her hard to approach.

TOJI (OFF): 
She's probably just got a lousy personality.

KENSUKE: 
You're both Eva pilots, right? You should know her better than us.
  
TOJI: 
He's right.

SHINJI: 
Well, I've hardly spoken to her.

*****

TECHNICIAN (OFF): 
Eva Unit 01 is now entering the third stage cooling process.
Lower all systems to Phase 8 in Cage 8.

TECHNICIAN (OFF): 
The earlier harmonics and synchronization tests were good.
All numerical conditions have been satisfied.

TECHNICIAN (OFF): 
Roger. Transmit the results to Balthazar.

TECHNICIAN (OFF): 
Roger.

TECHNICIAN (OFF): 
Transmit the full range of the entry plug's personal data to Melchior.
Data transmitting.

T  Minus 1,050 minutes until the Unit 00 re-activation experiment.

*****

RITSUKO (OFF): 
What is this?!

MISATO: 
It's curry.

RITSUKO: 
So you're still eating this instant stuff.

MISATO: 
Look, you're a guest, so you've got no right to complain.

SHINJI: 
What about you, Miss Misato?

MISATO: 
For me...

TEXT: 
Super Cup 
Green Onion Roast Pork

MISATO: 
Ta-da! Just pour it right in here!

SHINJI: 
Are you serious?

MISATO: 
Oh, don't you know how good this is?

SHINJI: 
Okay...

MISATO: 
Ordinary curry flavored instant ramen can't compare to this!
Let's eat!

MISATO: 
The trick is to put less hot water in the soup.

RITSUKO: 
Misato cooked this, didn't she?

SHINJI: 
Yes.

MISATO: 
Oh, can you tell?

RITSUKO: 
Yes, by its taste.
How can she make something ready-to-eat taste so awful?
Next time, invite me when it's Shinji's turn to cook.

RITSUKO: 
Shinji, you really ought to move.
You shouldn't let one bad roommate ruin your life.

SHINJI: 
I'm used to it now.

MISATO: 
He's right, Ritsuko.
Never underestimate the ability of the human animal
to adapt to its environment.
And anyway, if he does move...
Shinji, can you bring me another one, please?

SHINJI (OFF): 
Right.

MISATO: 
The red tape would be a pain.
He just got his permanent security card, you know.

RITSUKO: 
Oh, I almost forgot! Shinji, would you do me a favor?

SHINJI (OFF): 
What is it?

RITSUKO: 
Rei Ayanami's renewal card. I keep forgetting to give this to her.
Would you mind delivering it before you go to headquarters?

SHINJI: 
Sure.

MISATO: 
What's the matter? You're staring at Rei's picture.

SHINJI: 
Nothing!

MISATO: 
Shinji, don't tell me..

SHINJI: 
No!

MISATO: 
Oh, come on! You're blushing!

MISATO: 
Well, you've got an official excuse to go to Rei's place now.
This is your chance, isn't it?
 
SHINJI: 
Stop teasing me!

MISATO: 
But I love teasing you. You always take it so seriously!

RITSUKO: 
Just like Misato.

SHINJI: 
I just find it strange that I know so little about Ayanami,
even though we're both Eva pilots.

RITSUKO: 
She's a very nice girl, but she's like your father.
She's not very adept. 

SHINJI: 
Not adept at what?

RITSUKO: 
Living.

SHINJI: 
Well...
I didn't mean...

REI: 
Do you mind moving?

SHINJI: 
I ...

REI: 
What is it?

SHINJI: 
Well, I mean, I was...
I was asked to, so...
What was it? The card, your card...
It's been renewed! I was asked to deliver it.
So... So, I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

SHINJI:
Ritsuko said she forgot to give it to you.
It's true. I rang your bell, but there was no reply,
and the door was unlocked. So...

*****

SHINJI:

*****

SHINJI: 
I'm sorry about earlier.

REI: 
About what?

SHINJI: 
You have a re-activation experiment today, don't you?
Wouldn't it be great if it were successful this time?
Say, Aren't you afraid of getting in  Unit 00 again?

REI: 
Why?

SHINJI: 
I heard that you were hurt pretty badly in an earlier experiment,
so I was wondering if you were okay about it.

REI: 
Aren't you Commander Ikari's son?

SHINJI: 
Yeah.

REI: 
Don't you have faith in your own father's work?

SHINJI: 
Of course not! How could I trust him?

SHINJI: 
What?
